So...it looks like the scenery has improved around here.  :)

Hey there, SS.

Nice to "see" you.

Hey Waysider. Hope you're doing well.

So...I'm having trouble remembering the greasespot café names of the 5 or 6 people here who I have as Facebook friends, including you. Are you on FB?

Hey, since most 'o youze seem to still be around I thought I'd say hi.

Hi. I've thought about you guys.

SS

I dont come here much anymore...

Me neither...what's up, mstar? :-)

but I did fine in Massachusetts. My house power went down for a few hours and my shop for 4 days but that was not a big deal

Maybe you already read this on Facebook: We lost power for 12 days, lost a bunch of trees, too. Too bad about the trees but I'm thankful they didn't hit the house.

Actually, I'm glad I still have a house. Thousands of people around here lost theirs.

The wind was the big problem for us. The storm surge affected those closer to the coast.

Noo Yawk ain't done never seen nuthin' like this before!

So two years later I watch "The Devil's Messenger" with Lon Chaney Jr. and it was actually pretty good.

Cool! Was it on TV?

Hi Linda.

...or if any of my other FB friends have unfriended each other over politics. This question occurred to me when I saw someone's name here on GS whose posts I used to see on FB but no longer do.

I have "lost" a couple of friends on FB but I believe it was a FB glitch that dropped them from my list, as those people had no reason to un-friend me.

On the other hand, I did drop a "friend" because of his long and idiotic political rants, but this was someone I haven't seen since high school and was never really friends with in the first place.

If you're on FB, do you engage in political discussion/debate?

Not anymore. Not on FB anyway. I was in job search mode for a while and I didn't want anything like that to affect my chances of getting a job. I even deleted my political and religious views from my profile.

As far as you know, have you had any friends unfriend you there over your politics? Have you ever gotten so annoyed with someone else's political views that you unfriended them or hid their posts?

None of my FB are that strident about their views. If they were and their posts became annoying, I'd probably drop them or hide their posts.

Sounds like "Let It Be".

Interesting. I've been listening to that song for over 30 yrs and I barely knew the dadburn lyrics.

Blue Horseshoe loves Anacott Steel

Wall Street. Great movie. Best line: "Money's only something you need in case you don't die tomorrow." (Carl Fox)

No Ramones fans here I see.

Sounds like "Miracles".

Look away! Look away!

Here's one:

Look away! Look away!

I was trying to keep it lively and entertaining.

whatever...free post

Oy vey! You guys couldn't figure out the movie from the clip? The accompaying videos on YouTube didn't give the answer?

I wasn't trying to be cryptic, I just thought you guys were a little more savvy.

I'm a flea-bit peanut monkey

All my friends are junkies

That's not really true

One of the greatest Stones songs, IMO:

"Coffee is for closers"

Best. Movie Ever.

I was humming this song the other day.

"Is She Really Going Out With Him?"

Right. Your turn.

She's Just My Style.....Gary Lewis and The Playboys

Never heard that. Nice harmonies.

Pretty women out walkin' with gorillas down my street

The Logical Song (?)

Some girls love to run around, love to handle everything they see

Hmm...Turtles isn't it?

She'd Rather Be With Me (?)

We can never know about the days to come

Sounds like Misty Mountain Hop but it seems to be missing a syllable or two.

I asked your mother if you were at home

She said yes, but you weren't alone

Oh, sometimes I think that you're avoiding me

I'm OK alone but you got something I need.

Brand New Key, I believe it's called. Melanie. Cute song.

New tune:

But every day there's a new thing comin'
